2024年5月1日 · The thorax of a fly is specially adapted for flight. Unlike our own chests, the fly's thorax is the most rigid and segmented part of its body. The thorax is divided into three segments: the prothorax, mesothorax, and metathorax. Each segment has plates (sclerites) that provide a strong and lightweight external skeleton.

Flies have a pair of fully developed wings on the thorax, and a knobby, vestigial second pair of wings, called halteres, that are used primarily for balance. The fly's six legs also connect to the thorax and are made of five segments. The housefly has a …

The thorax is the second morphological region of the body and it bears the locomotion organs, represented by the legs and, in winged insects, by the wings. In all Insects it is composed by morphological and structural organization of the first three postcephalic segments, named prothorax , mesothorax , and metathorax , in order anteroposterior.

2022年1月4日 · Structure of flying segments—thorax, associated chitinous membranous wings and their morphology have been explained including venation. Venation of wing helps in identifying species and also in classifying insects. Direct and indirect flight muscles, which help wing movements have been described.

2014年3月25日 · The thorax with and dorsal longitudinal (upper left) and dorso-ventral (upper right) power flight muscles of a fly. The cartoon (bottom) shows a transverse section through the thorax with dorso-ventral muscles (DVM) and dorsal longitudinal muscles (DLM) indicated.

Schematic overview of the muscles developing in the adult fly thorax. (a, c) Illustrated image depicting the major muscles found in the adult fly thorax: DVMs, DLMs, and TDT (b) Control adult...

In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, proper development of wings requires the activity of so-called wing hearts located in the scutellum of the thorax. Immediately after the imaginal ecdysis, these accessory circulatory organs remove hemolymph and apoptotic epidermal cells from the premature wings through their pumping action.
